A majority of you will remember when you had to be 21 years old to vote in the USA. That never made much sense to me , Men and Women had to be 21 years old to vote in a USA election, but they were old enough at 18 to join the military and get themselves killed in a war, but were not old enough ,in a lot of States, to buy a beer. I even hate to bring this up, because remembering it makes us almost seem retarded at that time, and yet we accepted it without question. I was almost 25 years old before I could vote. My 21st. birthday ,being the last of October ,and Kansas where I was born and raised, closed the registration on Sept 1 ,and you had to be 21 years old before Sept. 1 to vote. I wonder who it was who finally wised up and changed the voting laws? Does anyone remember? just me, Marjorie
